Bleeding caused through taking birth control pills

Q: While a woman is on a birth control pill, she may experience breakthrough bleeding (which is not haidh but blood accumulates in the private area, which does not flow out, but can be seen when one wipes there). Is it permissible to read Salaah when this occurs? And is intercourse permissible then?

A: If this falls within the haidh period then this is haidh, for when the area is wiped then the blood is coming out.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
